* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Again, this is what Egoraptor gushes about the most in the ''Mega Man X'' review. Everything is expressed via gameplay, and the tutorial, despite being present, has a [[ShowDontTell very subtle]] approach when it comes to teaching the basics to newbie players, without relying on prompts, [[ExpositionFairy Exposition Fairies]], or anything of the sort.

* HarsherInHindsight: Egoraptor's message about tutorials seems to have been lost on the creators of MightyNo9...

* ClusterFBomb: The man drops 123 F-bombs by the end of his third episode. They're all here for your viewing pleasure: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qciOI4tkCxU here]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOC3vixnj_0&t=25m2s scathing one]] to Skyward Sword in his ''Link to the Past vs Ocarina of Time'' video.
--> '''Egoraptor:''' GOD, SHUT UP! Seriously! You want all this attention like you care, like you really gave it your all in a new innovative Zelda experience! But instead [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks you led Zelda into a frustrating monotony.]] You know, what started the franchise was like this sense of wonder, and what has thus far concluded the franchise is a sense of formality; a predictable, time consuming mess that asks you not of your sense of adventure, or even your wits, but instead your ability to listen and follow directions. You ask of us our ability to point something at something else and then walk towards it. You ask of us our willingness to get another bow and arrow, fight another boss with [[AttackItsWeakPoint another giant glowing eyeball]]. [[SarcasmMode Gee, I wonder how to FUCKING beat it?!]] I FUCKING WONDER Skyward Sword! You ask of us to get a cat from the top of a roof and carry it over to some guy who says "thank you." The Adventures of Link, Cat Delivery Man! IS THAT YOUR TITLE?! What's the tagline at the end?! “Cat’s out of the bag and onto the roof! [[FourPointScale 10/10!]]” No Wiimote motion issues here that could possibly cripple the entire experience! BEST IN THE SERIES! You’re like a spoiled rich kid who gets everything bought for you your entire life, and then when it comes to making it on your own, you can’t take it. You expect everyone to love you because you are who you are - [[SacredCow part of the illustrious Zelda lineage.]] Nothing could possibly be wrong with you! You ‘’look’’ just like a Zelda! But you’re not one. [[SpoiledBrat You’re a pampered, doughy snob wearing nice clothes expecting to graduate scot-free because your daddy is an alum]]. Why would you need to improve? Why would you need to get any better? [[CriticalDissonance Everyone just agrees with your shitty ideas because you're a Zelda.]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU Skyward Sword. FUCK YOU!]]

** Spoofed with Roll. "Mega Man! Mega Man! There's a hole in the zip-line that you" *[[TalkToTheFist punch]]* "[[StopHelpingMe No, SHUT UP]]; I don't ''need'' you!"

* StopHelpingMe: [[invoked]]Parodied in the Mega Man X episode, with Roll.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Shows up a lot while he [[ViewersAreMorons pretends to be a complete moron]] while playing ''Mega Man X''.

In this WebVideo series, hosted on Youtube, Creator/{{Egoraptor}} acts as [[AnimatedActor the literal (although animated) show host]], thus making the series what essentially amounts to a vlog of sorts, where Egoraptor discusses several games, their sequels, what their sequels changed, [[Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike what they did wrong]], [[GushingAboutShowsYouLike what they did right]], etc.

* Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: Discussed in-universe in the ''Zelda'' video. An in-universe fanboy tries to write a "preemptive counterargument"; Egoraptor throws him out the window when it's clear that he's just being angrily defensive and isn't willing to watch the video. Turns into a BrickJoke during the credits, the fanboy returning to write a ''post''emptive counterargument and Egoraptor saying "you watched the video, that's only fair."

-->''"*Holy shit YOU CAN JUMP AND SHOOT AT THE SAME TIME!"''

* {{Sequelitis}}: In-universe, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin duh.]] However, despite being addressed when present, it is not the core point of the series, as it rather relies on the stark contrast between a game and its sequel instead. He explicitly notes this in the

* GoddamnedBats: One of his complaints about Zelda's transition to 3D is gives rise to this trope more readily. Minor enemies now have to be targeted individually for you to be able to hit them, instead of the "selective z-axis" making it a simple task. This is illustrated with footage of Keese, the Zelda series' bat-like enemies. [[invoked]]

** In a bit of a meta example, this seems to have hit the series itself in its Zelda video, [[RuleofCautiousEditingJudgement depending on who you ask.]]

* PowerupLetdown: The main focus of his ''Super Castlevania IV'' video is that, due to the greatly increased utility of the whip, the sub-weapons become more or less useless. [[invoked]]
